"Since taking over as CEO Ben has led the business through a period of substantial change, improving the financial performance and laying the foundations for the future success and growth of the company," says Yopa, in a statement issued yesterday afternoon.
Formerly the agency's chief financial officer, Poynter became chief executive in April 2018 as co-founder and former chief executive Daniel Attia became chairman.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank all the employees and agents for their commitment to help build what is a very special company and I wish them all the very best for the future," says Poynter.
"I’m proud to leave the business with strong foundations to build on and am confident that Grenville Turner, a seasoned executive in the property sector, will help Yopa appoint a new CEO to lead Yopa through its next phase of growth in the coming months."
Grenville Turner adds: "Ben has made a huge contribution to the business, turning a young start-up company into a professionalised outfit with clear strategic direction and a culture that we are all proud of."
Yopa's latest round of fundraising was completed in August, bringing the total invested in the firm - which has reportedly yet to make a profit - to £91 million since 2016.
At the time of the announcement, Grenville Turner was named chairman and speculated about whether the agency could float on the stock market in the future.
It was also revealed at this point that LSL Property Services chief executive Ian Crabb had resigned from the Yopa board and that LSL had declined to invest further in the hybrid firm.
We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

Delivered in great time
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
